Iowa CITY, June 22.-The board of

chancellor to be filed by Emlin McClarn,
present resident law professor. w. B.

of the day was the calling for the resig-
nation of Nathan r. Leonard, professor
of mathematics and astronomy, Rev.

tics and moral science, and Leonard F.
Parker, professor of history. The pro-
fessors are the oldest in the institu-
ton and their enforced resignat ons will
excite great feeling, especially in the
cases of the two first. who are widely
known i'll the West. The general feel
ing is that they are not removed except
for the best interest of the institution.

was kept up probably for two hours.
The only casualty for time was flesh
wound received by one of the sheriff's
posse. The attacking party, however,
were gradually drawing the lines closer
around Tolliver's fortification, and the
besieged party, finding things growing
too warm, finally concludedto
MAKE A BOLD RUSH
for liberty, cut their way through the
sheriff'S lines and take to the adjacent
brush, which, once reached, would
afford them a sure escape, but as they
made the rush they were met by tre-
mendous volley, which killed Craig
Tolliver, Bud Tolliver, JAY Tolliver and
Hiram Cooper. They were all shot
through the heart, and died instantly.
Craig Tolliyer seems TO have been a
general target, as he was so thoroughly
riddled as to be scarcely recognizable.
The others of the gang got through
safely, but as they approached the
brush they were met by volley from
the outside Gordon, line of men sta
toned ten or fifteen feet apart all
around the town. This volley wounded
Cate Tolliver. twelve-year-old boy,
and three others, all of whom were
captured, except Cate Tolliver, who
crawled into the brush and escaped.
The other three also escaped. but one
was captured afterward. This brought
the battle to an end, and the slain were
gathered up and laid OFT on the street
where they were viewed by the people
and the passengers from the train.

THROWN IN A CELLAR.
The Way Campaign Documents
are Delivered in New York

stfc DeIIVcFcu new OHk.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Congressman
W. Bourke Cockrane has created quite
breeze here in political circles. Yes
terday he wrote letter to Postmaster
Pearson, who is Republican, charging
him with having suppressed portion
Of his (Cockrane) campaign documents.
and suggesting that inasmuch as an eX-
penditure of several hundred dollars for
postage stamps had been thus rendered
useless, that the amount be made good
to him. Postmaster Pearson replied to
this letter to-day, denying that any par
tisan influence had been at work in his
office in the direction named. He ad-
mitted that one pouch of Cock
rane's circulars, containing tickets
and posters, had not been delivered
and itcloSed a report of the matter made
by pOstoffice inspector by Postmaster
PearSOn's direction as soon as the fact
was discovered, which was on the 18th
inst. The report says that at the time
2,100, were mailed, there was a large
amount of this class of matter. and
there were not enough locks to fasten
all OF the pouches. This pouch of Cock
rane's was, therefore, inclOsed in a bag
which was tied and sent to Station G
for delivery. AS empty pouches are
sometimes sent in bags that way, it was
supposed at Station G that they were
simply empty pouches, and accordingly
thrown into the cellar. where it lay un-
noticed until the 18th inst, when the
fact that it contained circulars was dis
covered. Congressman Cockrane de-
clares that he is not satisfied with this
explanation, and threatens to carry his
complaint to Washington.

VAssAR, Mich, June 22.-The disap-
pearance of Mrs. Brooks is again to the

of this place, wrote to Anna d. Butter
field at Riverside, Cal, asking for in
formation concerning Mrs Brooks. The
following reply was received Monday:

abouts of Anna j. Butterfeld of River
side, who is thought to know some
thing of the supposed kidnapping of
Mrs Albert Brooks, of Michigan, who
lately as heir secured SS00,GOO at
Denver, Col. There are certain facts
that seem to be established, VIZ,
that Mrs. Butterfeld came into
possession of private letters of
Mrs. Brooks and sent them to
banker at her old home in
Michigan and that she had telegraphed
money to her old home through the
Riverside bank for the benefit of Miles
Brooks, whom she claimed to be the son
of an aunt who was lost. 1t
is possible Mrs. Butterfield is
niece of her lost aunt and
it is just possible that she is the lost
Mrs. Brooks herself, and that after the
receipt of the money her mind became
unbalanced and she wandered from her
friends. Mrs. Butterfield has talked
strangely about the matter from the
first.

BLOOD ORANGES.
How They Are Produced-Some
Queer Kinds of Fruit.


Strolling about the neighborhood of
the Quincy market. writes Boston cor
respondent of the Iowa State Register.
my attention was attracted by the sign,
BLOOD Oranges, $3.50 an Box which
decorated the interior of a importers
shop. l had always supposed that the
blood orange was a freak OF nature, to be
found semi-occasionally like a yellow
tire-cracker in pack of the Golden
Dragons brand: but this, it seems, was
mistake for the dealer assured me that
the ruddy fruit was distinct variety.
1T is artificially produced" he said,
''by grating an ordinary orange tree
with the pomegranate. The result is an
orange like any other, so far as flavor is
concerned, but with red Juice that is
visible through the skin. 1t brings a
slightly higher price, because it is re-
garded as a curiosity. The people of
Sicily cultivate it mostly. Yes, there
are one or two queer kinds of oranges L
know of. The pineapple orange. which
has something of the pineapple flavor,
is finding its way into the market. Then
there is the navel orange. grown ex-
tensively in Southern California. 1t is
considered particularly fine, and sells at
corresponding prices. The most curious
thing about it is the aStonishingly accu-
rate imitation of the human umbilicus
which ornaments the extremity furthest
from the stem. 1t is from this peculiar
ity that the variety takes its name.
These navel oranges, by the way, are of
the feminine gender, and have no seeds
at all.
81 had jew sweet lemons in stock the
other day." added the dealer. "They
are quite rarity. People in this part
of the world have poor taste in tropical
fruit, any way. They will always pay
one, though the former is considered an
inferior fruit where both are grown,
The lime, too, is far more priced il.
tropical countries than the lemon. but
Northerners think it is only good for
pickling."
